2st

Time warp
1979 2ST started to broad cast
In the Southern Highlands as AM radio
1999 2ST started to transmit in FM
Although these are land marks
The biggest gamble is yet to come
In 1982 2ST hired Graeme Day

Present day
Or is it Graeme Day
If you are a local you know
There is
The right way
The wrong way
And Graeme’s way

Graeme may not be right
But he is vocal about his way
With a heart of gold
A level head full of information
Combined with a sense of humour

Graeme’s love affair with the microphone
Passion for the Southern Highlands
Cheeky smile
Inquisitive personality
Need to
Answer questions
And get to the bottom of things

Graeme will not let any
Issue or subject shut him up
After doing his research

Boots and all
Like a pit bull dog
He jumps in
And doesn’t let go
Until the truth comes out

People have suggested that 
Graeme run for council
But Graeme feels
He can do more good
Behind the microphone
Keeping the councillors
On the straight and narrow

Graeme Day is the voice
The voice of the Southern Highlands
The voice of Justice 
The voice of reason 
The voice that soothes the Southern Highlands
